SENSES OF RESPONSIBILITY

WhatsApp Image 2022-06-08 at 1.41.53 PM.jpeg

DOUBLE BILL: PART I

Senses of Responsibility by Lekhani Chirwa.

Directed by Nadia Emam. 

 

Young carer Symonie struggles to come to terms with her Mum’s genetic condition, caring for her whilst trying to live a ‘normal’ life and the dilemma of deciding whether to get tested for the condition herself.

The play explores the complex consequences and downfall of putting others before yourself.

Written in 5 acts following the 5 senses - taste, touch, sound, vision and smell. Should Symonie go off to live her own life or continue to care as she has always known?
